This isn't true. If you block javascript from running, then that will include blocking WebAssembly. WebAssembly is only started through javascript, and if things ever changes so that webpages can include WebAssembly directly, presumably it will also be controlled by the same browser settings that control whether javascript is executed.

Yeah, but then you block everything and not only wasm.

Why would you want to block wasm specifically? There's nothing it can do that javascript can't.
